Polka Dot Letters

While making a Boggle game bulletin board {idea & printable Boggle form found here at Create*Teach*Share} I needed some cute letters and didn't have any. So I created some fun polka dot letters that I thought I would share.

I used red polka dots to match my room but have tons of other colors of polka dots. So if you'd like me to make them with a different background- just let me know!

I am going to start this in my kindergarten classroom right after Christmas break and was wondering how you made the sheet they write the words on.Also what is that is hanging beside the clipboard...The little thing on the right.. I think it is a great idea!!!!I love the polka dots because that is what my classroom is done in!!!Do you have any othe great ideas I can use??

If you click on the link at the beginning of the post it will take you to a post where you can find the sheet they write the words on. The little thing hanging beside the clipboard is just a clip that holds the extra letters.

I'm curious how you use this in your classroom... How do you introduce it to the students, what are the expectations for them, how often do you refer to it during the week, and how do you choose the letters you post? Thanks!! :-)

It's used in my classroom for students who have already finished their work and I just randomly change the letters every few weeks- making sure to include some vowels and consonants. They use the sheet I linked to above is what the students fill out. Hope this helps!

I love your red polka dot letters!! I really want to use these in my classroom for my Spanish word wall! Is there any way you can do the red polka dot lowercase letters with additional Spanish letters? The extra letters are LL, RR, and CH. Thank you so much!!

I love this idea and can't wait to share it with my first grade student's this year! Thank you so much for sharing this idea with us and the letters you have created!! Could i possibly get a set in bright green??

Sorry- no. I do have them in multi colors here:http://www.scribd.com/doc/97082997/CIRCLE-POLKA-DOT-Numbers-by-5-for-Clockand red:http://www.scribd.com/doc/102313753/CIRCLE-POLKA-DOT-Numbers-by-5-for-Clock-Redand turquoise:http://www.scribd.com/doc/99424781/CIRCLE-POLKA-DOT-Numbers-by-5-for-Clock-TurquoiseHope one of those will work!
